Rigo’s Pizzeria

Rigo’s Pizzeria is a neighborhood Italian place on NW Maynard Road in Cary, the kind where the owner greets regulars by name and remembers them the next time. It calls itself an authentic Italian restaurant, and pizza is what most people come in for.

The Cary original sits second on TripAdvisor’s ranking of Cary pizza with 4.8 stars, and it holds a 4.9 on Slice. Ratings like that are hard to hold on to in a town with this much pizza. Both scores come from customers, not critics.
